The Manhattan Banks Queer Char
ter.

n. Y. IlmeS.l
Thousands Of middle-aged and younger
people passing up and down Broadway on
the west side near Dey street have noticed
and wondered at let Of what appeared TO
be wood pumps lying upon the sidewalk.
These had evidently been long in use. Older
people looked at them more intently, for they
knew that they represented the first efforts
made to supply the city with an abundance
Of pure and wholesome water" The pipes
were recently dug up by the New York
Steam Power and Heating Company while
making repairs to their iron eonduits. The
wooden pipes were first laid In 1901 by the
Manhattan Company, which had secured
from the Legislature In 1893 perpetual
charter. Its capital was $1,000, 600 1t had
control over the streams and springs on
Manhattan Island and county OF Westches-
ter for its charter purposes. Their first
works were In Reade street In a direct line
north of the City Hall. The rear wall Of
the reservoir was on Chambers street
where the offices Of the Department Of Pub
lie Works now are. 1t was RACED about 30
years ago. The water supply was secured
from well % feet In diameter In Cross
street, which then ran from Chambers
street east TO Mott street and was OF the
Five Points precinct. The reservoir was Is
feet higher than Broadway. Two steam en-
gines worked night and day 10 keep It full.
In some streets iron pipes were used. About
50 years ago % miles OF pipes were down aud
the outlay Of the company was 100000. The
engines were capable of raising about 700,-
600 gallons in "A hours. The we'll was the
famous Tea Well Pump, and the water was
considered the best on the island. Later on
a well was constructed on the corner Of
Blocker street and Broadway. It's capacity
was 1900 gallons day. BY the conditions
of its charter the Manhattan Company, to
preserve its banking feature, Is Obliged 10
the city, and to that end they pump a little
every year at the Reade street plant, pOr-
tion Of which is necessarily still in exist

Between Hay and Grass.


The yacht races coming at this season are
relief to the fashionable girls whose papas
have brought them early back TO town. 1t is
now just the hour twixt twilight and morn,
twilight meaning the dearth Of interesting
events in a city in the summer, and morning
meaning the beginning Of social activity for
the winter Those who are here now, there
FORE find yachting good diversion. All the
steam and sail craft that accompany the
racers to greater or less extent over the
course have no difficulty in getting ample
consgnments Of living freight neatly done
up in pettcoats and skirts; and even the
popular excursion steamers have their re-
served and naughty quota Of girls from the
neighborh0od of Murray Hill. A still more
pleasant and thronged place Of observation
Is the Neversink Highlands, a few miles
from Sandy Hook. There, under shadow of
the lighthouse towers, hundreds 90 on race
days, driving up in fine style with their liver
led coachman, and coming from villas miles
away. They sit on the grass and watch the
yachts through telescopes and field glasses
until the middle of the day. Then elaborate
luncheons are produced from the carriages,
and government grounds are transformed
into picnic resort.

One Way to Build Up the Merchant
Marine.

&c. L. Converse in Columbus. o., Journal
Having spoken of diplomatic blunders
concerning territory, l am tempted to men,
tion another diplomatic blunder which has
cost the country more than a thousand mil
lions Of dollars. l refer TO the treaties
which placed foreign shipping engaged in
the ocean trade sn the same footing with our
own in carrying to and from our ports. 1t
was Thomas Jefferson's policy Of diffeIsn-
tial duties on merchandise carried In Ameri-
can bottoms that laid the foundation for, and
built up In the earlier days Of the Republic,
our splendid merchant marine. 10 Is nearly
all destroyed now under a different policy,
and in my judgment never can or will be
destored except by re-establishing differen-
from the duty established and eollectable by
law. when merchandise is brought from for
eign ports in American ships. Ii is a singu-
lar fact that the inception Of this disaster
was also from Great Britain, to whom we
can trace the largest share of our national
misfortunes. Congress ought at once TO de-
mand notice to be given to Great Britain
that at the end Of two years, which notice Is
required to be given by existing treaties,
this government will re-establish its differ
tial rates of duty on imports. In a few
years we would have the finest merchant
marine in the world, and trained sailors to
man with credit to the Republic our vessels
Of war, which are to assist In doing police
duty on the high seas.

The Beautiful coIored Statues OF
Greece.
New York Times.l

lA'NN hVAh lhhca.l
When Prof. Bickmore, Of the Museum Of
Natural History, was in Athens last spring
he was given the unusual privilege of wit
Messing the unwrapping of some Of the stat
ues which the Archaeological Society of
Greece has recently been excavating at the
foot OF the Acropolis. A characteristic Of
these statues is that TO wonderful beauty of
form they add wonderful beauty Of coloring.
This, however, is unfortunately evanescent,
and to be properly appreciated must be be-
held before the air has had an opportunity of
affecting 1t. The officers Of the society un-
wrapped several for his benefit, and he was
thus enabled 70 behold them in something of
the yiyidness of tints which they exhibited
when the Athenians last worshipped Athene
in her great temple. While the Professor
was watching the spectacle he saw Swiss
artist engaged in making drawings Of the
statues, and then reproducing the tints with
which they were adorned. Making his ac-
quaintance, he learned that the artist was
working for Russell Sturgis Of this city, and
had engaged to make copies Of all the c0lored
statues which might be discovered and send
them to him.
Mr.. SturgiS was seen yesterday at his home
in Stuyvesant-square. THE artist" said
Sturgis, sis Emil Gillier0n. | have already

South American Beef In France.

Under the title of "Cheap Living Figaro
published long article yesterday which has
caused great commotion in the city 1t gives
a detailed account Of the arrival in Havre of
meat and provisions from La Plata-S,0O0
sheep, 1900 beef quarters, and go bags OF
partridges are being sold in Havre
in shops established by company holding
monopoly of this importation. This is the
second arrival only and the first time that
imported meat has been presented to the
public in such direct fashion. Upon the
first occasion the regular butchers rebelled
There is no place in the world where meat is
so dear and so poor as in France, and to avoid
any change we hear floods of patriotic talk
about selling only the home supplies, which
are pure fiction, for such supply would be
entirely inadequate to the demand. The
present meat supply comes to great sextent
from Russia. Hungary, and even Germany.
The originator Of this gigantic scheme to
bring meat from the Plata country is a
FrenchInan, Nj. Sansinena. His associates
are Mr.. Cook, of Liverpool. and the Vice.
President of the Argentine Republic OF
this frozen meat Havre already consumes
10000 pounds week. In England the sue
cess Of the American meat Importation is
said to have been wholly due to free trade
Here it will be a more difficult matter on ac-
count OF the extravagant duties. On this
last shipment IS, O00f. were paid at Havre and
for Paris extra octroi demands would be en-
forced. At present only bouillons, colleges,
small hotels and boarding houses use these
meats, but the company proposes shortly to
open shops on its own account, and this
proposition has fairly startled the butchers,
who would at last be obliged in measure to
abandon their thievish ways. For fifty years
they have done nothing but increase their
tariffs, and, with other perquistes, fat cut
tings and bone dainties which are sanctifed
by usuage, the business has been entirely
under their control, so that even If the Plata
meat turned out TO be less successful than IL
now promises to be, it would be an undis-
guised blessing to short purses. The French
Government always takes care Of bread
prices, but meat Is here considered luxury
not absolutely necessary to health or strength

A MagnanImous Iramp.


"Major Bluhkin, the matcher," his friends
call him, and he is almost as much devoted
to the delights Of matching coins as was the
late John I. Raymond. He stood at the bar,
having 1oated in TO get cocktail and change
bill. He got silver dollar in the change,
and 1t was yet In his hand, when a voice at
his elbow in the usual terms solicited "a lit
tie help, please, General" The barkeeper
was about to run the tramp out when the
Major said: "Hold on, will give him a
chance" He spun the dollar on the bar and
slapped his hand down over IL.
Heads, win tails, II goes to YOU" said
he benignantly to the tramp.
The latter's interest scarcely exceeded that
shown by the Major and the bartender a.
the hand was raised and the spread eagle
that is opposite the head on these pieces was
disclosed. As the coin dropped into the ex-
tended fist Of the lucky tramp the Major wa.
astounded at the proposition: ''I'u 90 Won
again TINS :, dollar agin another one" And
ly refused an invitation 10 match coins Rnt

public. What will eventually do with the
drawings / cannot say. They are valuable,
beyond question, for they elucidate several
vexed questions In regard to ancient Greeian
art.
"These statues date back to period be-
fore 5OOB: G. They. adorned the ancient
temple of Athene, which was burned when
the Athenians under ThemistOcles aban-
doned the city at the time Of the Persian in
vaSiOn. When the new ParthenOn was built
these statues were covered up with earth,
which was used to FILL in, in order to make
more gradual ascent. That no effort
should have been made to rescue and restore
these beautiful statues may seem strange,
but the Athenians felt that they could carve
plenty more-that artistic genius existed In
abundance among them. They could have
no idea that two centuries and half after
ward the people of another civilization would
be delYing in the ruins Of Athens and prize
their cast-offs at their weight In gold.
THE statues are Of marble, about feet In
height, and are mostly in agood state OF pres
ervation. Portions Of an arm or a leg are
broken off generally, and nose Is sometimes
missing. They represent GTecian gods and
goddesses, particularly Athene, or Minerva,
the tutelary divinity Of the city, whose hair
is always colored the favorite red Of the
Greek and Roman poets. The clothing Is
red, black, and vivid green. Some Of the
patterns Of the clothing are decorated, and
what Is called the diaper dot Is common.
They are valuable, not only artistically, but
as informing us as nothing else can in regard
to the dress OF the Athenians and the way II
appeared as it was worn. Every detail Is
represented perfectly, and Tyrian purple Is
depicted in something like its original gor-
geousness. My pictures are exactly one half
as large as the statues In every part. They
are intended TO be absolutely accurate simula-
lions OF the statues In every aspect.
